Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a series of PowerBraces to prevent further bowing in this customer's home. Over time, the braces can be tightened, and will eventually lead to a straightening of the affected wall.
This property in Westminster had a section of sidewalk that had sunken and was uneven, becoming a tripping hazard. Our System Designer went out and determined that our PolyLevel Injection System would be able to fix this problem. The foreman went out and strategically drilled holes in the concrete where injection ports were installed. Polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slab. The holes and control joints are then sealed. NexusPro Crack Repair was used to seal all cracks and joints.
The homeowners in Powhatan, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions with concerns about the crawl space under their home. This area was taking on water and moisture. The insulation was falling down and the floors above were begging to sag. Our System Designer was able to provide a free estimate for an encapsulation.
The System Designer recommended our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to protect the crawl space from the outside elements. The System Designer also recommended our SmartJack system to help support those floors. Our Forman and his crew installed these products.
This homeowner wanted to install new flooring in their Powhatan home, but had to address the sagging floors first. Part of their floor was being held up by a tree trunk! Chris Wilmouth, System Designer, came out to do a full inspection and provide a free estimate. Foreman, Warren Dickerson, who has lots of crawl space experience, came out with his crew to install Smart Jacks. These jacks provide stabilization for the floor joists to help sagging floors. Soon the floors were stabilized and ready to receive new flooring!
Joe W. of Powhatan, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing his floors sagging. System Designer, Zack Bullock, went out to meet with Joe, inspect the crawl space and provide a free estimate. Zach proposed Smart Jacks to lift the floor and an encapsulation to protect the floor joists from further moisture damage. Joe agreed! Foreman, Travis Farmer, was assigned to the job. He set the footers, installed the Smart Jack post under the beam, and lifted until the floor was stabilized. The final step was to install CleanSpace vapor barrier and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier sealing the house off from the damp ground below. Now when Joe walks across his kitchen he is confident knowing his floor is stable, his crawl space is clean & dry, eliminating future mold growth or floor sagging.
